With the closure of the Bomarc missile base in 1971, RCAF La Macaza became the site of a prison in 1978 and the adjacent airport opened for civilian use. Growth of the Mont-Tremblant resort (40-60 minutes away by road) saw customs facilities added in 2000 and Porter Airlines introduce seasonal Dash 8-400 service from Toronto (YTZ). The airport has a small chalet-style terminal building along the east side of the airport, south of the prison. The La Macaza airport is home for a small number of light aircraft and hosts a large number of business aircraft during the winter and summer.
